A few I haven't seen before.

while some of these got a chuckle out of me. Can I point out the joke about mimicking a blind woman's husband? Like that's pretty not okay. I get it's a joke, but it's a rape joke.

I'm not entirely convinced that blind jokes, or black jokes, or blond jokes, are any more OK than rape jokes. They're all about victimizing others, in the long run. At least, I'm not willing to complain about the rape joke without feeling hypocritical.

Yeah totally agree, jokes should be covered under hate speech laws. Nobody has the right to make fun of people or gave negative opinions

You are very correct. A lot of these jokes are victemizing the visually impaired, and the people of the community shouldn't be the butt of the joke.

Most blind people will tell you they like blind jokes.

Oh I know. The students I work with will make jokes based on their impairements. I went bowling with a few of them for a school event and they were shouting at each other about what they could see or not based on the pins that were up.

The problem I have about taking a firm stance on blind jokes is, that unlike jokes about other communities, a lot of us in the blind community do appreciate and enjoy blind jokes. Probably because blindness is the sort of disability where you can either cry or laugh about it, and a lot of us would rather laugh. However, most blind jokes are pretty darn awful. That's why I said in another comment that I really wish we had some better material.

I've heard all of these previously, multiple times. We really need some better material, you guys.

I find it strange that blind people walk their dogs so much.
